The Jazz have made just one change to their starting lineup for Friday’s game. Konchar will start, bumping Oscar Tshiebwe to the bench. While the opportunity makes him deserving of a look in deep leagues, Konchar is faced with a challenging matchup.

THJ - who is dealing with knee soreness - went through a full practice and is officially probable for Saturday’s matchup with the Spurs. Jones has a hamstring strain, and it’s unclear if he’ll be available to take on San Antonio. Jones’ status should be clearer closer to Saturday’s tip-off.

Mbeng had two 10-day contracts with Utah, but finally has landed a full NBA deal. The contract is two-years for the 22-year-old shooting guard. Mbeng had seven points in 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Mbeng still has one day remaining on his second 10-day contract, so the Jazz will reportedly wait until its expiration to complete the rest-of-season deal. This move also clears the way for Mbeng to join Utah’s Summer League squad. In Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets, he played 23 minutes, finishing with seven points, one rebound, two assists and one steal.

Konchar was one of two Jazz players to record double-doubles against the Nuggets. His stats were produced off the bench, as he shot efficiently, competed on the defensive end, and made a notable impact with his facilitating. Konchar did a little bit of everything in Wednesday’s game, which led to some quality fantasy production. He’s nothing more than a last-resort streaming option during Championship Week.

Filipowski finished the night as one of two Jazz players to reach the 20-point mark. His scoring came in a fairly diverse manner — three-pointers, two-pointers, and free throws were all factors. And although he only played 31 minutes, Filiposwki was still able to secure double-digit rebounds before the final horn sounded. He’s now gone for 20 or more points in four straight games and will have a chance to extend that streak to five games against the Rockets on Friday.

Sensabaugh was one of the bright spots for the Jazz in their loss to the Nuggets. He was both aggressive and efficient as a scorer, especially from the three-point line, which led to most of his scoring production on Wednesday. His assist-to-turnover pro was even, he collected a couple of stocks, and contributed fairly well on the glass over his 33 minutes. Sensabaugh averaged over 20 points per game in March and is beginning in April by picking up where he left off.

Like many other Nuggets starters, Braun had a productive evening against the Jazz. He logged 31 minutes and shot the ball efficiently, produced on the glass, and also made contributions as a passer. While Wednesday’s final line wasn’t a significant one, Braun was able to land his second consecutive double-digit scoring performance. His streak could extend to three games on Saturday against the Spurs.

Jokić only needed 33 minutes to add to his collection of triple-doubles. Interestingly, he finished with more rebounds than points, and although he had double-digit assists, he gave the ball away five times. Still, the former Finals MVP ended with a dominant line, which is expected of him at this point. Fantasy managers will hope Jokić can stay productive on Saturday against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.

Despite making fewer than half of his 26 field goal attempts, Murray drained double-digit three-point shots for the second time this season. Five of his triples came in a red-hot opening quarter, while his final three came in the fourth period. Murray also made an impact with his passing and rebounds, but he was most effective tonight from beyond the arc. The Nuggets face the Spurs on Saturday, which is when the veteran guard will look to stay in rhythm.

Tshiebwe will get the start for the Jazz as they face a Nuggets team that’s getting healthy just in time for the postseason. Utah has lost its last six games, including a recent one to Denver. Filipowski and Bailey are the most likely players to provide fantasy value for the Jazz on Wednesday.

Gordon will return from a one-game absence to face the Jazz. The veteran forward has battled injuries throughout the season, but is currently healthy and has a couple of weeks left to gear up for another strong playoff run. He may not explode for huge numbers, but he will likely be an impactful player for fantasy purposes on Wednesday.

Chandler made his first start since joining the Jazz on Monday, as Utah was without Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier and EJ Harkless due to injury. While the efficiency was poor, with Chandler shooting 25 percent from the field and committing five turnovers, he played 40 minutes. That alone may raise some eyebrows as the Jazz move forward with the rest of their Week 23 schedule. Bez Mbeng (5/2/4/3 with one three-pointer) played 29 minutes off the bench, but Chandler is the Jazz guard worthy of a look if Utah remains this shorthanded at point guard.

Bailey extended his streak of games in double figures to eight, scoring 19 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field. There weren’t any defensive stats to speak of, but the rookie did record a season-high five assists. That isn’t production fantasy managers can count on receiving consistently, but opportunities won’t be an issue for Bailey in Utah’s final three games of Week 23.

Filipowski has scored at least 20 points in three straight games, but Monday’s double-double was his first since a March 9 win over the Warriors. Interestingly, he only played 24 minutes against the Cavaliers, likely a byproduct of Evan Mobley doing whatever he wanted in the post. The role Filipowski currently has won’t align with his role when next season begins, especially if Utah re-signs Walker Kessler. To carve out a consistent role for himself in 2026-27, he has to make strides defensively.

While his performance did not come in a victory, Williams’ play against the Cavaliers was encouraging after a brutal Saturday night in Phoenix. Two nights removed from throwing up a bagel on 0-of-9 shooting, the second-year forward surpassed 20 points for the fourth time in his last six appearances. Williams’ category league value remains low, but he’s shown some signs of being able to add value in deeper points leagues. The Jazz play three more games in Week 23, starting with the Nuggets on Wednesday.

The Jazz won’t have EJ Harkless for Monday’s game, making him the third point guard on the sidelines, joining Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier. Chandler moves into the starting lineup, and he’s worth a look in deep leagues due to Utah’s lack of depth at the position.

Nnaji’s absence is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball, especially if Gordon is available.

After appearing to grab his side, Johnson departed for the Nuggets’ locker room during the third quarter of Sunday’s game. It was eventually announced that the forward was dealing with back spasms. While Johnson did return to the bench to rejoin his teammates, he did not check back into the game. The Nuggets are off until Wednesday; if Johnson is not available, Julian Strawther could sneak into the back end of the rotation.

Denver received 43 points from its bench on Sunday, with Hardaway and Bruce Brown (15 points, one rebound, two steals and three three-pointers) leading the way. THJ has made at least four three-pointers in three of his last four games, providing consistent production off the bench. He remains a player most valuable to managers needing points and three-pointers, but the two steals on Sunday were a nice bonus.

Denver’s tandem of Murray and Nikola Jokić was outstanding on Sunday, helping the Nuggets pull away from the Warriors in the second half. Murray, who finished with a complete stat line, has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Nuggets are scheduled to play just two games in Week 23, which is unfortunate for those rostering Murray with their eyes on a league title.

Jokić finished Sunday’s 116-93 victory two assists shy of a triple-double, shooting 50 percent from the field. The three-time MVP has recorded a triple-double in five consecutive games, matching his longest run of the season. The negative for fantasy managers is that the Nuggets play two games in Week 23. While Jokić can certainly provide elite fantasy value in those games, it would be a lot better if Denver were scheduled to play three or four games.

Bailey did not have a good night shooting the basketball, as he was 4-of-12 from two-point range and committed four turnovers. However, fantasy managers will be pleased with the rebounds and blocks. Over his last five games, the rookie has blocked 12 shots, providing value that some may not have anticipated. Since the All-Star break, Bailey has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. As long as he is available, the rookie needs to be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Limited to 13 points in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, Sensabaugh doubled that number on Saturday. While he didn’t offer a great deal beyond the points and field-goal percentage, the third-year Jazz forward shot 9-of-16 from inside the arc. Utah plays four games in Week 23, and Sensabaugh can step up for deep-league managers as he continues to start.

After putting up 25 points in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, Filipowski was one point better on Saturday. The second-year center shot just over 71 percent from the field, and the overall stat line was excellent.

Murray wasn’t able to match his 53-point performance from Wednesday’s win, but he was able to stay hot to help push Denver’s win streak to five games. It has been an incredible season for him, and he now ranks inside the top 10 in nine-category leagues over the course of the season.

Two days after scoring 24 points in a loss to Washington, Williams matched that total in this game, though he was even more efficient in this one. Williams has had some strong performances in March, which should give managers some reason for optimism if they’re still stashing in dynasty leagues. However, the start of his career was rough, and it is unlikely this translates into next season, though he should remain productive for the rest of this year.

Following a one-game absence with an illness, Filipowski was back in the lineup for Utah and had an excellent night.

However, he has been able to be productive in limited action, though the past two weeks were rough entering this game.

Experienced fantasy managers are likely well aware of what Konchar can provide when allowed to play extended minutes. He may not do much as a scorer, but the veteran wing can provide solid value in other areas. Against the Wizards, Konchar put up good numbers in rebounds, assists and blocked shots, and he logged 38 minutes.
